Isetnofret (or Isis-nofret or Isitnofret) (Ancient Egyptian: "the beautiful Isis") was a royal woman of Ancient Egypt and, as the Great Royal Wife of Pharaoh Merenptah, she became Isetnofret II.

Isetnofret II may have been the daughter of Prince Khaemwaset. If so, she married her uncle Merneptah.

Another possibility is that Isetnofret II is a daughter of King Ramesses II and his second great royal wife, Queen Isetnofret I.

Her children include:

  • Seti Merenptah, who assume the throne as Seti II[1]
  • Merenptah, King's son, Executive at the Head of the Two Lands, and Generalissimo [2]
  • Khaemwaset, King's son, Depicted in Karnak Temple [3]
  • Isetnofret, King's daughter mentioned in the Leiden ship log [2]
